Immortal Reign by Morgan Rhodes6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Aside from its own issues, I think I still harbour some residual resentment from the previous book, Crystal Storm. I felt no such connection with the characters, the world or the story for that matter, and I was actually bored for the majority of the time. ![]() The first and biggest problem I've had with this book was the lack of connectivity. Sadly, however, our farewell’s turned out to be… less than pleasant. ![]() For better or worse, however many problems I've had with this series, I've stuck by it to the bitter end. This series should have ended two books ago. WE'VE BEEN BLESSED BY THE EMO KING™ HIMSELF. I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER RECOVER FROM THE MASTERPIECE THAT IS THAT COVER.ĬAN WE LOOK AT IT?

Goodbye my babies, I'll see you all again someday ❤️ What a beautiful finale for an even more beautiful series. I'm on cloud nine and dead at the same time. I don't think I'll be able to write anything coherent, right now, anyway. I'll probably write a proper review in a couple months, when the hype is faded a bit and the risk of spilling spoilers will be a bit less unforgivable.

I like the idea of reading a book from an author, and then jumping to the next one. Since I have a crowded reading list, I hesitate committing to three books. I’m not sure the fascination, but so many authors break their stories up into a three-book series these days. Since I follow the site primarily for tech gadget news, I was a little concerned about the potential quality of their book recommendations, but I figured it was worth at least a shot.įor starters, the book had one strike against it going in. One of their must reads from a while back was Pines from the Wayward Pines trilogy by Blake Crouch. For my latest read, I decided to try a new recommendation source – Gizmodo, one of the tech blogs that I follow. There’s my ever present nemesis – the infamous Amazon recommendation engine. I have a few friends and blogs that have become trusted sources. Even though I have a reading list that has grown to out of control proportions of 150+ books strong, I’m always on the lookout for book recommendation sources. ![]() Juicy by Pepper Pace6/12/2023 ![]() ![]() The salsa already has garlic added, but I love the extra spice from the extra garlic.Īfter spreading extra sauce over the top of the enchiladas, I bake until the sauce is hot and bubbly.

Silko is in conversation with writer Molly Gloss, a celebrated writer of many novels, including the acclaimed The Hearts of Horses, and the winner many prestigious prizes including the Oregon Book Award. When asked by an interviewer about the book’s fluid structure and movement between memory and reality, Silko said, “Linear time is itself a fiction which I find tedious and simpleminded.” And as she says in this conversation, linear time can also be very dangerous. The Turquoise Ledge has been called a “highly original self-portrait” and is written in fragments that blends nature writing, memoir, history, parables and legends. She joined us in 2010 as part of the launch of her first book of nonfiction, The Turquoise Ledge, which was a highly anticipated release in part because it was her first book in more than a decade. ![]() Since then, Silko has gone on to publish widely and across genres with a distinct voice, deeply rooted in the landscapes and culture of the American Southwest. While Leslie Marmon Silko had begun to publish poems and short stories in the 1960s, it was her iconic and ground-breaking novel, Ceremony, published in 1978, that established her as one our greatest living writers. In this episode of The Archive Project, we feature Leslie Marmon Silko in conversation with Molly Gloss from a special event in 2010, at Portland State University’s Lincoln Hall. ![]() |
